palate cleanser

On Monday, I went dutifully to Costco to stock up on staples for my home. You know trash bags, toilet paper, laundry soap, those annoying essentials that my husband thinks continually replenish by magic under the sink or in the cupboards.

Many times, I also buy fruit at Costco and onions and avocados. Monday they had large plastic containers of Pluots. Pluots are a combination of plum with apricot and the beautiful perfumed mottled rose colored fruit has an addictive taste distinct from other stone fruits. Pluots were also the main ingredient in a desert I tasted last summer at a restaurant in Chicago. You can read my review elsewhere.
